Brittany Rodriguez:
In 2007, I met Mr. Getz, my high-school gifted education teacher. Though he had never laid eyes on me before, he immediately understood me, though I rarely said a word. He learned rather quickly how to push me, motivate me and challenge me to give others the opportunity to get to know me. He encouraged me to get involved in activities that later shaped my entire high-school experience. Without him, I would have never learned to use my voice or question.--
